    Storyline

    Edit
    Nearly a decade after occupation by an extraterrestrial force, the lives of a Chicago neighborhood on both sides of the conflict are explored. In a working-class Chicago neighborhood occupied by an alien force for nine years, increased surveillance and the restriction of civil rights have given rise to an authoritarian system - and dissent among the populace. —yusufpiskin

    • Trivia
      The countdown audio leading up to Commissioner Igoe's descent (1:10 into the movie) and up to Mulligan's descent (near the end of the movie) is the actual audio from the countdown of the launch of Apollo 11, in 1969.
    • Goofs
      Before the end title starts, there were some video clippings were playing to show the world wide revolt. Just after "Paris" it showed "Karachi" which is supposed to be in Pakistan. But clippings was of "Dhaka" and Bangladesh flags were waved by the people in the scene. Moreover, this was not a video of a protest at all. Rather it was a video of a pilgrimage for a religious gathering called 'Bishwa Iztema" held every year in January in Dhaka.

    Slowly gets better
    The movie starts off really slow and difficult to keep engaged. At the middle of the movie things begin to develop. By the end you look back and see how the storyline was constructed. Decent movie but expected more substance.
